The biggest barrier to gaining access
to the Colorado medical marijuana registry is most likely to be cost.
Because there are no general funds allotted to the program, users are
required to pay around $100 in fees to be a registered user. Also,
all applications, renewals and requests for change must be submitted
as a hard papery copy via mail, with changes made in blue ink and
must include a copy of the patient’s Colorado identification.

Not
all applications will be accepted, however. Recently, four
applications were denied due to lack of scientific evidence that
medical marijuana usage provided any beneficial effect. Among those
rejected were cases of Parkinson’s Disease, Asthma, Anxiety and
Bi-Polar Disorder. Although acceptance is carefully screened,
Colorado has currently used over 6,700 registry ID cards. The renewal
rate is 56 percent.
